Экономика

Статья из Newsweek. “Праздничная” статья.

Until now, power has been defined largely by military strength, by control of vital resources like oil, or by the ability to embrace a form of supercharged capitalism, like China. But in 2011 and coming years, the ability to manage debt may be the best indicator of where global economic power resides. Back when George W. Bush was president, his “freedom agenda” was about democratic elections and ending one-party rule in the developing world. Now the No. 1 issue has become freedom from crippling debt and restoring fiscal balance in the developed world. Who will ring out 2011 in better shape than when it began? Those who can best manage the brutal deleveraging process in the advanced economies, those who can use the currently forgiving conditions to rebalance, and those not lured into fresh crisis by easy money.
